Flash CS3 Professional Very Slow & Sluggish

I recently upgraded to Flash CS3 Pro (WinXP). It is very slow
to use -- the mouse keeps getting "stuck" for several seconds at a
time, sometimes longer. It seems to get even slower when I open the
script window (F9).
Has anyone else had this problem, and is there a way to fix
it? It sort of drives you insane.
Thanks,
Geoff

You certainly are not alone. I'm running into the same
problem. I have 4gb of ram in my system, though I'm not running
vista yet, thus it sees 2.5gb. I'm on a dual dual-core xeon 3.0g
system, so it actually exceeds the recommendations for HD video. I
have a 5 disc raid0 array.
I don't have any answers for you, nor do I have any new
information. But I do want to confirm that there is a big problem.
My ram appears unused, and so do my CPUs. The CPUs get used for 10
seconds, then sit for 45... it's entirely useless.
Is there anything that can be done? It's really, really
useless to have your computer freeze 2/3 of the time while a
program is simply open and doing nothing...

Need help with Different approaches to setting variables in a Flash movie in Adobe Flash CS3 Professional Version

Hi,
I'm using Adobe Flash CS3 Professional version of Flash
software,
I need help and guidance on
Different approaches to setting variables in a Flash movie,
what I should do in the fla file, and in the html file.
Thanks, Gil

Hi petro_jemes,
Just a little claritification, you need to add the value to the variable "[string]$ou", and also change the language in the variable "$emailbody" in the function "Get-ADUserPasswordExpirationDate".
I hope this helps.

Can't Uninstall Flash CS3 Professional

Yes I've looked around the web and Adobe forums. There's a whole mess of things I'm trying to fix right now so I might as well start from top and keep it compact. Scroll down to where it says "Let's recap" if you wanna get a summary of my technical issues. It may scare away some of you, but please at least someone respond. (ps all links are put here purposefully by me)
I joined a site called newgrounds and became fascinated by flash movies there. I found a link which lead me to Flash CS3 Professional free trial download page. I installed the program without a single problem. But after installation & restarting I couldn't find flash in there at all instead I found these (screenshot). I asked for help on newgrounds, and got advice to install CS4 instead. First I attempted to uninstall CS3, but it will only let me uninstall the Flash Player 9 ActiveX Component and not the program. I looked this up and the solution seemed to be CS3Clean Script. However I have two problems: first off I can't backup my files like recommended because the backup drive doesn't have enough room, which means 7.63GB out of 10GB is somehow being used (screenshot). If I decided to run CS3Clean Script without backing up my data I'd get a message telling me I need to install Windows Installer CleanUp Utility. (screenshot) Which leads me to my second problem. When I run the file to install "Windows Installer CleanUp" (just downloaded) I get this error. What does it mean? Because I am on the Administrator's account so I don't understand why I don't have privileges.
That's all of it!
Let's recap:
+Can't Uninstall "Flash CS3 Professional" Trial
+Can't use "CS3Clean Script" to Uninstall Flash unless "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility" is installed
+Can't Install "Windows Installer CleanUp Utility" because of this error
Minor-ish problem slightly related---> Can't back up data in case something else goes wrong!
ps Did I scare any of y'all away yet?

Clear all registry entries manually, folders and directories
then do the
installation all over again.

My Photoshop CS3 goes very slow/choppy when I have a selection made.

Hello,
My Photoshop CS3 goes very slow/choppy when I have a selection made, with those little moving lines indicating the selection (the lines that look like walking ants). When I'm adding to the selection, it's fine again, because the "ants" aren't moving, same with when I hit Q to enter Quick Mask Mode--as long as the "ants" aren't moving, my Photoshop isn't slow. Is there any way to fix this? To either speed up Photoshop or to stop the "ants" from moving, and simply allow selections to be indicated by broken lines, but not moving broken lines?
Thanks

Adobe Flash CS3 Professional with Windows8

Can't download Adobe Flash CS3 Professional using Windows 8. Help!!
Adobe Flash CS3 Professional

if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem downloading, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com

Flash CS3 Professional CRASHING

I can't post in the Customer Service Center because it's my
work's copy and I have no info on the software.
Flash CS3 Professional is crashing immediately (with generic
error message of having to close Flash) when I open an existing fla
file OR try to create a new one. It crashed originally when I
accidentally pasted a paragraph of text into the font tab instead
of a font. I restarted and it was still broken. I got the tech
person to uninstall and reinstall the software and it STILL
CRASHES. What is going on?? Anyone??? I need this to do aspects of
my job, so I need help ASAP. Thanks!

It's incredible how Adobe forums have declined in recent
times. Most posts here have 0 responses.
I too have this problem - and when trying to save workspace
settings.

New 9.0.2 update for Flash CS3 Professional

I just ran the new Flash CS3 Professional update via the
Adobe Updater. Everything ran and reported the update was
successfully completed. However Flash still says it's 9.0.0.494 in
the Finder and when choosing About Flash from the program it says
9.0. Just wondering if the update really happened or not.

Bentley: There is a downloadable update available NOW. And
based on what you say the language is confusing.
12/12/2007 Adobe Flash CS3 Professional (9.0.2) delivers
support for the latest update of Adobe Flash Player 9. This update
includes a new Video Playback component supporting H.264, support
for Flash Lite 3 Update for Flash CS3 Professional, and all Debug
and Release versions of this new Adobe Flash Player. For users of
Flash CS3 Professional, this update will also be available via
Adobe Update Manager in Flash CS3 Professional.
It states "Adobe Flash CS3 Professional (9.0.2)". You should
change that, as it does not appear to be the case. The language
definitely implies that the program itself will be updated to
9.0.2.

Learning Flash CS3 Professional

I have not used Flash regularly for several years, MX04 being
the last version I used. How different is Flash CS3 Professional
than MX04? I last programmed with ActionScript 1.0 - how different
is 2.0? Any books to recommend?

Do I need to purchase Flash CS3 Professional?

I am just learning Fireworks cs3 with a tutorial which is now requiring that I use Adobe Flash CS3 Professional. Being a beginner I am not certain if this is an extension download or do I have to purchase a program. There does not seem to be phone support-they just directed me to this forum. I realize that this is an older version. Am I just supposed to download Extension Manager 1.8 for Windows? I have Vista Windows. I am confused between software programs and extensions.

CS3 is an archived product. You will have to download the trial version of Flash CS5 Pro which gives you 30 days to try
the software after which you will be required to purchase it or uninstall it. If you plan on doing more web design work such as with Dreamweaver then I would recommend investing in one of the Creative Suite bundles.

CS3 Still Very Slow with psd files

I'm still having terrible performance issues with CS3 and imported CMYK psd files containing spot colours. I have a 9MB psd file with two spot colours imported into a layer in Illustrator, with some illustrator line work on top. Just zooming in give me a 5 second screen redraw, everything is very sluggish and occasionally I get a crash. I still get these weird alert box saying "Generating Pixels" now and again when importing the psd files.
G5 Dual 2.0GHz, 2.5GB RAM, OSX 10.4.11, Illustrator 13.02, Photoshop 10.0.1.
I'm not having these issues on a different mac running CS2.

I'm thinking it might be RAM, I have Photoshop and Illustrator open at the same time. I have around 100GB of scratch disk space.
But weirdly the slowness is not apparent using CS2. Things are just dead slow with a Photoshop file placed in Illustrator CS3. These files are only 30MB, but contain 3 spot channels + CMYK. Even with preview mode switched off, it's still very slow and I mean everything slows down.
There is a lot of disk activity going on, so maybe my hard disks on this 3 year old mac are just getting too long in the tooth.
What drives me nuts is I remember doing the same kind of work in Illustrator 8 on a G4 running System 9 and everything was MUCH faster.
Oh, and I'd better not mention how fast Freehand was for this kind of work...

Flash CS3 Professional crashing on exit

Hi to all,
I have a strange problem. Every time I use Flash CS3, the
program works with no problem, with no lags and crashes. But once
my work is done and I close it, Windows prompts a dialog about a
"Flash not responding" warning. It happens every time I close the
program, why is that?
My laptop has 2 Gigs of Ram, Vista Home Premium.
Thanks in advance...

I do not recommend you to use CS3. And Vista. Too big, heavy
and slow. If it was not a program but something else, you'd run
like hell, right?

Use VLC for YouTube and other Flash Player videos. Flash has become very slow and VLC Web Player works perfectly for other video websites.

I'd like to use VLC Web Player for viewing YouTube videos rather than use Adobe Flash. Adobe Flash is very slow on my other computers and when websites use my VLC Web Player, I have no issues whatsoever. I'm curious if this can be done with Firefox, as I researched it only to find an add-on for Google Chrome only.

You may be able to disable Flash entirely and just use HTML 5 video codecs to view the videos this is faster but you may lose access to some videos such as ones that have mandatory advertisements.
